No better wheat can be seen in our midst than
Mr.. Bond has. As the club viewed from the hill
tops the extensive valley of Western Run and
surrounding country, it was said by one who had
travelled much that section of the country af-
forded such scenery and advantages as it does
Many subjects of interest talked over and the
principal question respecting the use of CONNER
cial fertilizers the corn crop was well consider
ed. The opinion given was that there was no ad-
vantage gained in its use. Mr.. Austen, who has
had large experience with it, said the application
of 600 pounds to the acre did not prove remuner-
ative nor did the after crop show any improve
ment from the use of the fertilizer. The next
meeting will be held on June 4th, at Mr.. Edwin
Austens, when articles of interest will be read, it
being reading meeting. The ladies of the house
prepared most palatable supper, which was
heartily enjoyed by their guests.

A Steer on the Rampage.-On Tuesday
last drove of nine fat steers, belonging to Mr..
Samuel NJ. Price, of the Sth district, were driven
to Towsontown to be delivered to city butcher
who had bought them. The day was very warm
and the animals were considerably worried, one
of them becoming decidedly warlike in his beha-
vior, so much SO that he took possession of pump
in the town and refused to move. If any one ap-
preached him to force him away he would make a
break for them, and for time he had everything
his own way. Finally it was decided to kill him and
Mr.. George W. Seipp was asked to do the shooting.
With one of the Towson Guards rifles he under
took the job, but he had to fire three balls into the
steers body before he gave up the ghost. One of
these balls passed through the steers head, struck
a brick house some distance off, glanced and hit
Mr.. Henry Kaline in the side, but fortunately did
not hurt him.

Thanks.-We return thanks to Mr.. Charles Il.
Sheridan, manager of the Samuel Chew farm, for
some delicious asparagus sent us this week. We
have seen nothing to equal it in the Baltimore
markets this season.
Mr.. Harry Phipps keeper of the York road
gate, Towsontown, exhibited some butter at The
UNION Office on Friday, made from his beautiful
Jersey COW, that we don't think can be surpassed
for color, rmness and delicious flavor by the pro-
duct Of any dairy in the county. The prints given
US were greatly enjoyed. The COW from which
this butter is produced is from the herd of Mr..
Lambert Cuttings.

Sweet Air, 10th District-The most notice
able improvements in this neighborhood are those
going on at the parsonage. The neat fence and
outbuildngs were much needed and we trust will
add to the comfort of the pastor, Mr.. Reese, who
continues to grow in favor with the people.
The Chestnut Grove Sunday school opens its
annual session on Sunday next with an efficient
corps of officers and teachers.
1t gives me much pleasure to announce the i'm
proEement in the health of Mr.. James N. Hender-
son, whose serious illness occasioned much un-
easiness among his large circle of friends.
Messrs c. Wilson Halle and Thomas Jessop
contemplate, during the present season, enterin g
into the canning business together. Tomatoes
will be the chief article canned and they propose
placing upon the market a brand of that vegeta-
BILE that for excellence of flavor and careful seec-
ton will place them among the standard assort-
ment.
The entertainment given last Friday evenin g
by our public school, Miss Mary L. Dougherty,
principal, and Miss Anna Cole, assistant, proved
entirely successful in every respect and reflected
much credit upon both teachers, whose exertions
were evident, and the scholars who took part in
the exercises. The musical portion of the pro-
gramme was in charge of Miss Emma Sheppard,
of My Lady's Manor, whose ability and talent are
we'll known, and was ably assisted by Miss Annie
Sheppard and Mr.. Harry j. Stout.
The building boom is still increasing and &C
cordingly Mr.. Samuel W. Porters countenance is
beaming with unusual content.
The nuptials of Miss Laura Knight, popular
and universal favorite in this locality, to Mr..
Robert Hall, of Baltimore, we're announced week
ago and the entire community are profuse in con-
gratulatons to the happy couple.
Mr.. Joseph Parks finished his spring seeding
last week, and as he heads the list deserves espe-
cial credit.
Two of our young residents spent day last
week ducking, rather fishing, and returned with
one duck and over six hundred herring. The
former they bought and the latter they caught
after an assiduous day in the hot sun, which fully
recompensed their better halves, who consider
herring luxury while ducking is wasteful ex-
travagance of time and ammunition. HOWARD.

speed and dashed into barbed- wire fence Divers

had terrible cash cut across the top of his left

AM oninion low Judge Fowler.-On N

An Opinion by Judge Fowler.-On Tues
day last Judge Fowler filed written opinion in
the matter of Mary L. Tryon and others against
Augustus Cash, constituting certain provisions of
the will of the late Henry W. Hook, of the Sd dis
trict, Baltimore county, who devised lot of land
to the city of Baltimore for public park and
which the city declined to accept. In his opinion
Judge Fowler says "the executors have no bene-
fetal interest in the land. The testator must have
intended to create a trust, and I have no doubt
that was his intention but for what purpose, and
in whose favor, certainly not in favor of the city
of Baltimore for the purpose of public park, be-
cause the executors not authorized to keep said
land under their care unless the same be declined
by the city. The testator's intention was, think,
that the city of Baltimore should have the land in
question for public park, and in case the city
should decline the gift the executors were to hold
the land for some purpose not clearly set forth,
and there being no power in the court to direct
and control the execution of such trust, because
the object and purpose of it are too vague and in
definite, it is for that simply nugatory, (5S
Nd, 117) The devise to the city of Baltimore
having been declined by it, and the devise to the
executors being void, the third question submitted
is whether the title to the property is not in the
residuary devisee under the terms of the residuary
clause contained in the codicil. The language of
the codicl is so clear that there can be no doubt
that George X. Tryon took the land under 1t, II L
am right in regard to the conclusion arrived at as
to the other question. I will sign decree ac-
cordingy."

More Trouble at Texas-A Big Strike

More Trouble at Texas-A Big Strike
Among Quarrymen and Lime Burners
Again there is trouble at Texas, this time result
ing from refusal on the part of the lime burners
combination to advance the wages of the men en-
ployed in their quarries and at their kilns. Up
to about two months ago the combination was SELL
ing lime at Ia cents bushel and it is alleged by
the men that when the price was advanced their
wages should also be raised. The combination
then put the price of lime up to Is CENTS and about
three weeks ago it was again advanced and the
rate was fixed at 20 cents, but nothing was said
about the promised advance in wages. The quar-
rymen and lime burners were receiving S1.50 per
day and all others S1.25, and they made demand
for an increase of 25 cents per day. The combi-
nation refused the increase and also positively de-
clined to arbitrate the matter with the men. This
state of affairs continued until Wednesday night
when the Executive Board of the District Assem-
bly, Knights of Labor, ordered the men out and on
Thursday morning all was quiet as Sunday at
Texas. Nearly one hundred men are engaged in
the strike and they will receive regular pay from
their organization so long as they are out by its
authority. The men who occupy houses belong
ing to members of the combination have been no
titled to vacate them and have thirty days in
which to do SO. The kilns of Mrs. Schafer, who
is not in the combination, still in full opera
ton, as is also the quarry of Mr.. 7. c. Blair, the
latter having been given the promised two weeks
notice at the same time that demand was made
for increase of wages. and should he fail to acceed
before the expiration of that time, his men will
also 60 out. The supply of lime now on hand is
not large and should the strike be protracted for
any length Of time the product from the Texas
kins will be exhausted and the price of lime must
advance to still higher figure.

belonging to Mr.. Larkin Read and situated be-

leyed that the fire originated from the friction OF

such Roadway that it was impossible to check it.

and one of the oldest buildings OF the kind IN the
county. There was policy of 81 900 on the mill
